Weekend 2 Log


WEEKEND 2 LOG
Weather: Saturday and Sunday AM - sunny with a nice breeze, PM - cool weather with clouds


    Saturday



    Before Tom Nook does his morning announcements on Saturday, you might notice something different about one of the structures around you. Those of you who can hear well may listen to the curious sound of an engine running in the near distance. Walk towards the source of the sound, and you’ll see two things:

    1) The airport door is fixed.
    2) Someone is inside the seaplane.

    Should you enter the airport, you’ll find… a dodo sitting at the desk. Huh. You haven’t seen this particular bird here yet… Regardless, when he notices you all, he perks up and looks downright excited.

    “Hey, hey, hey! Welcome to your one and only gateway to the skies, the Isla Sonrisa Airport! Wow, there are a lot of you! I’m Orville, and I’ll be taking care of your flight arrangements. Hey, Wilbur, get out here and meet these fellas!”

    And another dodo comes out from the back of the airport--or, rather, where you’d expect the plane is docked. He seems a little more serious than the other dodo, but he gives a wave all the same, looking at you through his shades.

    “You all are the ones we’re taking to the mystery island, right? Nice to meet you. I’m Wilbur. We’ll give you more details tomorrow. We’re still setting up here.”

    Wilbur and Orville, the dodos in charge of the airport… try not to think about it too hard. Anyway, the dodos are here to help you out… by taking you to a “mystery island,” it seems.


    Before you head out to board the plane, Orville gathers you all into the lobby of the airport. He has an explanation!

    "Now, you've gotta be wondering why we've called you all here. There's something special about this island you'll be spending the day at! There's someone who's looking for a change of pace, an island paradise home, and it's up to you to ask them if they'd like to stay! You guys helped prepare that housing plot, right? Can't leave it unoccupied for much longer after all that hard work! Board the plane and soar into the sky right to your potential new neighbor! ... Tomorrow!"

    ...Well, now that you know what you have to do, how will you prepare?








    Sunday



    On Sunday, before you take off on your mystery island tour, Tom Nook asks everyone to meet at Resident Services again. This time, though, it’s Blathers who has something for you. Remember those containers with the tools during your first week here? Those are back out, but this time, you’ve got two new things: Ladders and vaulting poles. You’ll also notice that your DIY Apps now have DIYs for both of these things! How convenient.

    Now that you’re properly equipped to go on your mystery island tour, Wilbur and Orville will escort you onto the seaplane. They need to make two trips, as the max capacity of the plane cannot fit everyone inside; but should you choose to go to the island, you’ll find something very, very interesting. Wilbur is your pilot, and will also be around to assist you while you explore this mysterious island.

    The island is populated with bamboo trees! Well, would you look at that! Here’s something you haven’t seen yet. The trees are tall and the leaves are gently swaying in the wind. Should you chop at these bamboo trees, you’ll get bamboo pieces or young spring bamboo. There are even bamboo shoots to be dug up—either for a snack or to plant back home.



    There are two tiers to the island—a ground level and a little cliff that you can climb up onto. The island also has rocks for you to mine, trees for you to shake, and bugs and fish for you to catch if you need them. And, pleasantly surprising, there are coconut trees to harvest fruit from: eight of them, four on either shore, with two coconuts per tree. There are also plenty of shells to collect on the shore. What’s missing is that there are no balloons, DIY bottles, or fossils to be found here. All of this can be seen from the aerial view of the island.

    There is one other thing that stands out, though: On the left hand side of the island near the beach is a campfire...along with some movement. You can’t quite discern who this may be, but it seems like you aren’t alone on the island after all.

    Landing will allow you to do whatever you desire with this island. You aren’t coming back here, after all. Just be mindful of the other visitor who’s here. They may be up for a chat — but there’s only one way to find out.









    (OOC: Welcome to your second event log! Any questions can be directed to the FAQ. Since we have two separate prompts for you, we'll be separating this log by days.

    NOTE: You do not have to recruit the mystery villager! This is completely optional and we will leave it up to you guys. We're flexible and can mold the game around your decisions!

    NOTE-NOTE: You are also free to not board the plane for the island tour if you wish! You're free to hang out at your home island and do work there, too.

    Let us know if you have any questions, as always!)

I see. ... I suppose it's as innovative as we're going to get for the time being.

[ it truly is innovative, he'll give minato that. that being said... ]

...Hoshizora told me about you before she disappeared. She said that the two of us had similar interests -- that we both were concerned with gathering resources and making sure people were being taken care of. If that's the case, I'd be willing to try to negotiate with Tom Nook with you for some permanent bridges.

[ It was Laurent's idea, so Minato will have to pass on the compliment. ]

Hoshizora said that...? I guess, though, yeah. The guy seems pretty accommodating, so maybe all we need to do is ask. Say it'll help people explore easier, or... prevent them from being swept out to sea and drowned.

[ Rin was concerned with people drowning. A bridge will save so many people's lives; Minato is willing to ask Tom Nook for bridges in memory of Rin. ]

She did, yes. That's solid reasoning.

[ tom nook is a nice guy, he'll surely agree to this. right... ]

How did you manage to build that without being swept?

[personal profile] compendiem 2020-07-16 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I was working with Laurent. Stuck rocks inside to weigh it down, and cut holes in the walls so water can flow through without sweeping it away. It worked well enough to hold both our weights, at least.

I see. That's clever.

If Tom Nook isn't able to provide and you'd like assistance with another bridge, I'd be willing to help regardless.

[personal profile] compendiem 2020-07-19 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks, I think it'd be useful. If we keep bringing people to the island, it's bound to get crowded, so...

[ He shrugs. Spread everybody out, see if there's any new resources out there, make sure there's no dangerous wild animal dens they missed, there are no bad reasons to pour forth the time and effort into it. ]

Maybe when we get back to the island we can talk to him together.

Sounds like a plan to me. Best to be prepared for any newcomers, after all.

[ let's not have any animals get stuck in the river, thanks. especially people like snake. snake getting caught in the river would not end well. ]
